YOU RAISE ME UP



YOU RAISE ME UP



SPIRIT OF THE LORD

YOU RAISE ME UP WHERE I CAN SEE

SEATED ABOVE WHERE I BELIEVE

IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN THE TRINITY

FROM HERE I RULE

FROM HERE I REIGN

FAR ABOVE ALL POWERS AND NAME

FOR THE SAME SPIRIT

THAT ROSE CHRIST JESUS FROM THE GRAVE

DWELLS IN ME


SEE HOW LOFTY ARE THE HIGHEST STARS

THE HIGHEST HEAVENS CANNOT CONTAIN GOD

MAJESTIC IN HOLINESS, AWESOME IN GLORY

WORKING WONDERS

BUT AS FOR ME

I AM FILLED WITH YOUR SPIRIT, O LORD

RAISE ME UP WHERE I CAN SEE



SEATED WITH CHRIST IN THE HEAVENLIES

HE REIGNS IN KINGLY AUTHORITY

TIGHT BY MY SIDE

BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE

REACHING OUT FOR MY HAND

WE LOOK DOWN AT MAN

THROUGH THE STARRY GALAXIES

TOGETHER WE RULE

TOGETHER WE REIGN

IN THE POWER OF HIS NAME

AS HE LEADS AND GUIDES ME



NOT BY MIGHT

NOR BY POWER

BUT BY YOUR SPIRIT

ABIDING IN ME

I SAW YOU SAY ‘LIGHT BE’

AND WALK UPON THE SEA

PUT LAWS IN PLACE

TO GOVERN OUTER SPACE

AND SAY, 'COME WALK IN ME’

A wishful chorus would be...

YOU RAISE ME UP
SO I CAN MOVE A MOUNTAIN
YOU RAISE ME UP
TO CALM THE STORMY SEA
YOU LIFT ME HIGH
TO SIT BETWEEN YOUR SHOULDERS
YOU RAISE ME UP
TO BE MORE THAN I CAN BE
